We need to science the you know what out of this episode. Natalie is the co-host of the brand new 64 episodes in Science Enthusiast Podcast. We talked about her starting the podcast supergroup with Dan Broadbent, their recent interview with the organizers of the Mythicist Milwaukee conference, and her new documentary Science Moms.

He's been a literary agent, poker pro, real estate mogul and now does a podcast about skepticism without making fun of marginalized people -- how refreshing. We covered his podcast history, how he met Hemant Mehta in a previous life, and what other religions haven’t yet learned from Jewish people.

Aiden, first of his name, is the co-host of the For Trans Men podcast (with Rissy Monster). He tells us about discovering what trans was before figuring out he was, how Rissy’s coming out helped him, how one changes a name and buys liquor in Pennsylvania, and a special significance of the the eunuch characters in Game of Thrones.

Dustin Dark of the newish Everyones Wrong Podcast had a recent interview with an alt right activist who went to the Unite the Right protest. Dustin had Hunter rate the races, talk about secession, and the usual exciting right-wing talking points. We also introduce Everyone’s Wrong, which features most of the cast of Wayward Atheists going more political.

It's hard to pin prolific author David Fitzgerald to one thing, but since I read the trilogy Jesus Mything in Action we need to go deep on the most important potentially fictional character in history. We talked about how he fell in and out of love with Jesus, the impetus of writing a mythicism book that reads like fiction (Nailed), how atheists led him to go deeper with his recent three-volume Jesus: Mything in Action and how he’s a well-rounded dude in love of stouts and science fiction.

Wendy has transferred 40 years of evangelical Christian experience into a new podcast that focuses on women and their experiences as they leave the church. She talks about being a missionary in Brazil, getting out of an abusive relationship and finding her high school sweetheart more than 20 years later. Her family joined her in getting out of religion and her daughters are part of the podcast. It’s an important show.

Thomas Westbrook of Holy Koolaid is on to talk about his missionary family background, will review Gateway to Reason, and can give me a second reason to visit Oklahoma (number one is Prairie beer). How did he build such a rabid youtube following, what was it like to resurrect Christopher Hitchens for a Dennis Prager takedown video and where might he move next?

I was on my way to a nice self-centered Secular Saturday recap when Recovering from Religion’s Scott Smith showed up. I did about 19:35 on myself and the rest catching up with my fellow podcast host. If you’ve thought about volunteering for the Helpline, you can volunteer.

I haven’t talked to Brian and Lexi in forever so we met at SCS “studio” to talk about this upcoming weekend’s Secular Saturday. How did this Chattanooga-based secular conference come together and who will be there? What beers will Brian and Lexi sample from my private stash?

How often do you get to talk to the second-highest atheist podcast in America? Yeah, we skepticized it and found out Waiting 4 Wrath is technically more elevated. Skeptic Bret hosts the Atheists on High podcast program, defeated an evangelical background in single combat, and like many freethinkers has joined the political fray.
